What is seasonal flu?
Seasonal flu occurs every year, usually in the winter. It’s a highly infectious disease caused by a number of flu viruses.
What harm can seasonal flu do?
People sometimes think a bad cold is flu, but having flu can be much worse than a cold and you may need to stay in bed for a few days if you have flu. Some people are more susceptible to the effects of seasonal flu. For them it can increase the risk of developing more serious illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia, or can make existing conditions worse. In the worst cases, seasonal flu can result in a stay in hospital, or even death.
Seasonal flu vaccine
This vaccine helps to protect you against seasonal flu. As with all vaccines this vaccination may not fully protect all persons who are vaccinated.
When a person is given the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s natural defence system) will produce its own protection (antibodies) against the disease.
None of the ingredients in the vaccine can cause flu. Flu is a disease that can spread rapidly and is caused by different types of strains that can change every year. This is why you are offered a vaccination every year. The greatest risk of catching flu is during the cold months between October and March. If you were not vaccinated in the autumn, it is still sensible to be vaccinated up until the spring since you run the risk of catching flu until then.
Seasonal Flu vaccination will protect you against the three strains of virus contained in the vaccine from about 2 to 3 weeks after the injection. The incubation period for flu is a few days, so if you are exposed to flu immediately before or after your vaccination, you could still develop the illness.
The vaccine will not protect you against the common cold, even though some of the symptoms are similar to flu.
If you have a blood test within a few days of being given a flu vaccination,please tell the person taking the blood sample or your doctor. This is because false positive blood test results have been seen in a few patients who had recently been vaccinated.Some common side effects you may experience Like all medicines, flu vaccines can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them You may experience some discomfort after vaccination. The injection site may swell, and become red. You might also get some hardening of the skin. Additionally you may experience headache,sweating, muscular pain, joint pain, fever, shivering, and or fatigue. These are all common side effects to this type of vaccine and usually disappear within 1-2 days without treatment. It is perfectly safe for you to take appropriate pain killers to help with these. Please ask your pharmacist which pain killers are best for you.
This vaccine is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machinery.
